Zope does not restrict an External Method in any way. > ... >items_list = [{'element1':'element1value', >'element2':'element2value','element3': element3value},{....},....] > >I am getting trouble with with this as any time I try to modify any >dictionary from items_list, items_list[n] I do get an error >similar to: > > line 120, in agregaItemDicts def agregaItemLista2(self,item,REQUEST): >File "/usr/local/Zope-2.7.4/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py", >line 1502, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError, key AttributeError: >__setitem__ Usually, this means that the object looks like a dictionary but is in fact a different object. However, your traceback is weird: It seems to indicate that "HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest.__getattr__('__setitem__') was called. However, "HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest" does have a "__setitem__" attribute. Therefore, Python will never call "__getattr__" automatically to resolve "__setitem__". Something else must have called "__getattr__" inadequately. The upper part of traceback (which you dropped) should tell you where this calls happens. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
